Mobile Money Summit

And I’m officially done with the Mobile Money Summit. Tomorrow I’m back at my regular writing to cover other, non mobile payment topics.

Again I left early to prepare all the posts for publishing, and have missed three more presentations:

  • Creating Sophistication in Mobile Money – Roberto Rittes, Director of Oi Paggo
  • Panel: Addressing the Challenges and Realising the Potential of Mobile Banking in Developed Markets
  • Future Strategies, Commitments and Projections for Mobile Money – Siki Mgabadeli, Financial journalist and business news anchor

Of course, if I catch some mobile money-related press release these days, I’ll make sure to post it as well.

Overall, I liked the conference. I learned a lot and have grabbed a piece of the enthusiasm companies and governments have for mobile financial services. Despite recession, I felt that mobile payment, mobile banking and related services will have its share in bringing the brighter future to both developing and developed countries…

Dusan Belic

Dusan has been using smartphones since their introduction and is now following the latest trends in the industry. The "convergence" is what he's most excited about, and writing about it is the next logical thing to do. He thinks that using a smartphone is what everyone who cares about their time should do. In addition to his interests in mobile phones, Dusan also loves to experiment with the latest web and mobile 2.0 services. The idea of accessing and managing your information from any device no matter where you are simply amazes him. Whether it's an online to-do list, note taking service or a video sharing social network, he's there to try it out. He admits though, he's still searching for the ultimate web-based organizational tool, which "sings" perfectly with the mobile PIM application. Dusan used to run SymbianWatch.com which later became part of IntoMobile. He lives in Serbia, South-East Europe, from where he edits the site on a daily basis.
